Gibbard is an enthusiatic midfielder capable of playing a deeper role or a more attacking role. He has worked his way up through the ranks at the Academy and earned a scholarship in July 2022.
He made 17 appearances in all competitions for the Under-18s in 2022/23, scoring three times. The midfielder was also called up to represent the Republic of Ireland U18s and he scored on his debut against Sweden and on his second start against Denmark.
The midfielder's campaign in 22/23 was cut short due to injury in February 2023, though he finished the season with 17 appearances and three goals to his name in all competitions.
Gibbard returned to action after almost nine months out, starting in a crucial 5-4 victory over Fulham in the U18 Premier League Cup. He notched his first assist of the campaign in the 3-2 win against Aston Villa in December 2023.
The youngster captained the U18s for the first time in March 2024, in a 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion and went on to make his first appearance for the Under-21s in April 2024 in the Premier League Cup against Fulham.
